::Black was surprised BUT amused as the frail looking Erika rushed him. her spell having granted her the power to share HIS physical strength. but still...she couldnt change her NATURE or her system..lest she compromise everything she was.::


Ow. who woulda thought a skrawny little skirt like you would grow a back bone.

::rising to his feet as he cracks his neck...Black licks out his long, demonic tongue as he disappeares...and appears again ALONG SIDE Erika..snatching her by the head. his hand covering her entire face...as he slams her not once..but THREE TIMES in lightning quick succession down on the floor. :


::racing along...Black begin's playing SOCCER with Erika...kicking her and stomping her in the stomach::

you may have my strength, girlie. but ive got the MASS, the MOMENTUM...and the ENDURANCE that your frail little body will never have. not unless you decide to try to become ME...and of course, if you do that..then youll not only negate your precious illusion that your a good witch...but your body will be DESTROYED by the shroud!

Alison is gone toots...and the three little piggies over there cant hope to out power me on their BEST day. Karen and Ororo are too busy fighting Spellbinder...and so ...all that's left is you. I gotta tell ya...its ALOT of fun bruising this body of yours.

:: laughing heartily before PUNTING her across the floor like a foot ball with a kick to the head with his immense foot::
 
< Crack! Erika rolled to the side of the floor as her elbow was snapped on the corner of a wall knocking it clearly out of place. Grabbing her arm in pain, she gritted as she popped it steadily back into place and let her restorative powers do the rest. She walked up as the bruising on her face began to fade away right in front of Black as she continued to walk forward. >

"You may have the MASS and MOMENTUM, Black, but REMEMBER this! The bigger they are the harder they fall, the more you beat me, the more I will come back for more. You aren't dealing with those CHILDREN anymore! You are dealing with a WOMAN! A PISSED off woman at that! You of all people should know you can NEVER beat that! Why you've ended up Morgan's BITCH in whatever reality you come into! That must hurt!"

< Erika dissappeared in a swirl of Black Orbs as she appeared behind him, her fists becoming enraptured in Mystic Energy that glowed a solid violet, looking almost like energy gloves as she PLUNGED both of her fists into the back part of Black and began moving her hands around before GRABBING hold of his heart, squeezing and pulling on it. She jumped up and wrapped her legs around him and sent him flying upwards and onto the ground. She was now sitting on top of him with her hands deep within his chest, her face seeming to enjoy every moment of the pain she was causing the demon. Even if what she was holding WASN'T a heart, because Erika wasn't even sure he had one, whatever it was, it was a vital organ to Black and one that seemed to cause him an immense amount of pain. She looked at his arms as she immediately manifested CHAINS of a mystic violet energy that kept his locked to the ground. She looked him right in the face and laughed. >

"So, like I said, we can play cat and mouse all night, it's all up to you Black, but sooner or later, Morgan will come here, when she realizes it has taken you so long to dispatch of a group that SHE could have taken care of herself AGES ago and when the time for killing has come, you KNOW she won't surrender your life to you.. You'll go up in flames like the rest of you! So let's rumble Baby!"

< She spit on him right in the face as continued to dig in the Alpha Demon's chest, crushing and pounding on anything she could get her hands on while pulsing violet mystical energy glew from her arms and into his chest. >
 
Everything had happened so quickly, Haleigh had nearly missed it by just blinking. Blacks entrance proved devastating for Haleigh... she might have normally been right on the front lines... but the dark shroud seemed to be suppressing her. She could normally see quite well in darkness... but this was certainly a different kind. She lost all sense of space and became terribly disoriented. she couldn't have told anyone if she were upside down or sideways... and even when 'Spellbinder' showed, she couldn't seem to snap out of it, for it had a lingering subduing effect on her. Black, Cameron, and Erika fought... Haleigh remained in the background, isolated from the group but not far from Alison, rubbing her eyes and shaking her head softly to try to get a grip on herself. When she finally did seem to get her balance about her, the first person she saw was Alison... who seemed to be slipping out of it slowly. Haleigh assumed Alison was feeling the same effects she just had.... and perhaps her recent disorientation extended into her mental sanity... for she promptly hurried over to Alison to help. She took Alison by the shoulders, shaking her softly.

"Alison.... Alison, get a grip. Shake it off... we need you to slow time again... this... thing is closing in on us... well be suffocated!"
 
** Blaze too was trapped inside this black endless dome. She thought about Black's words, the more energy they used, he'd feed from it. They would have to fight him tooth and nail like Alison suggested....even that was a hint, one she hadn't noticed before. Foxfire was roughly knocked down to the floor with a forceful momentum that felt like two tidal waves crashing into her. Unfortunately she couldn't communicate her idea to Prophet, who was busy aiding his sibling. **

** Slamming down onto the floor, Blaze's voice rocked the penthouse with a loud scream this time. She felt as though she had been hit by a train and then run over again. Her scream became muffled when she struggled to breath. Gasping for air, she blinked her eyes to try to focus her eye sight. Warm diamond like tears fell from her silver hued irises while staining her cheeks. Coughing more violently, Blaze's chest heaved with desperation for oxygen. Sinking her fingernails down onto the hard wood floor, she dug into them. She felt pinned down, such an awful feeling to go through. She didn't know where Alison was, or where Ororo or Karen were. Slowly shutting her eyes, Blaze felt light headed. Being wounded didn't help this matter, she wanted to sleep. The black dome pushing further towards the mutant. Faint small gasps were beginning to slow in rhythm. **
 
::Just as Guardian was about to give in to an all encompassing sleep, she felt the jostling of Black Widow. She wanted to dismiss her as part of a dream..but it was real..and PAINFULLY she fought her way back to full consciousness and alertness. she could hear the deep shaking tremor as the black dome of shroud energy closed in on the group...Guardian shook her yead and regained herself::

its too late!!!

::the foundation of Illustra was starting to buckle from the stress of the power struggle between Morgan , Karen and Ororo...and now...the very air and ENERGY was being sucked away from the members of The Six and their Allies::


::Guardian closed her eyes...thinking fast using her skills as a tactician and a pre-cog::

Erika cannot hope to destroy black. he's enchanted by LIMBO's magick now. the ONLY thing that could destroy him utter is the soul sword. the shroud is FEEDING off of her anger and agression...not to mention she's risking irreversible changes to her being with the way she's doing things.

Black Widow..you going to have to step up and create a weapon...a PLASMA CANNON. it will require your concentration and focus...and you must innundate the top center of this dome with the energy projection from the plasma cannon. Foxfire will have to stand up...and create a ring of fire around the circumference of the dome..and POUR the energy of molten lava into it. the ONLY WAY to get through this..is to OVER LOAD the inferno. I have a spell to deal with Black and check him long enough to ensure this plan works!!


:: Guardian rushes forward::

FOXFIRE, BLACK WIDOW!! get in gear!!!
 
the area of consecration

::Ororo frowns...the strain of such a prolonged effort away from the reserves of Limbo and her garden are beginning to take a toll. as the winds rage around her and Karen. the two women continue to hold hands...and fight with all their mystical might to provide the young members of the Six with a chance to stop Spellbinder and save NYC....but even the efforts of these two gracefull, powerful women may not be enough::



Ororo: the hatred....the rage.....the corrosion of Morgan's attacks...i ...havent felt this evil since...i faced Belasco....

::eek:utside the windows of the building....less and less of Karen and Ororo's magick signature can be seen as Spellbinder begins to gain ground in the power struggle::

Goddess....please grant our powers...our sufficient....to ::gritting teeth:: carry us through!!


::no one else here save Guardian could have lasted THIS long against Morgan's assault...Karen and Ororo give it their all...drawing on all the mental, physical and spiritual strength....but they are both beginning to grow weak...faint....and show signs of physical pain::


::the raging sounds of the battle of magicks outside...with the tremor of the dome inside make for headache inducing sounds....the situation is growing CRITICAL on both sides::
 
The area of Consecration

<<Karen is gritting her teeth ...the forces of magick at play ROCKING her body from outisde the building...as she holds hands with Ororo. She feels the pain that Ororo feels. but they must by The Six the time they need to overcome Black and Shroud Dome>>

Ororo.........it hurts.......must...hold on.......

::as her hair blows back, a tear falls down her wintery face...she turns to look...barely catching a glimpse of the team as they are being consumed b y Black::


they...arent.....SUCCEEDING!! we..MUST KEEP FIGHTING!!!

::Karen will not give up...not until she has no more energy or power left. She will see to it that her daughter is delivered from this evil and she will NOT abandon Ororo in this most painfull trevail!::


::the winds swirl around the area of consecration..as shards of magick continue to flow and the halo of power shimmers and radiates from between the women's hands. they are losing the battle to Spellbinder, but its not over....not YET!::
 
inside the dome

::Black's roar of laughter seems to MELD with the thunderous shaking caused by the constricting dome. even as Erika attack's him with such ferocity...seemingly dealing him a deadly blow....Black's fanged, gleaming teet smile as his eyes glow as his body melts into the floor in a horrid bubbling ooze like state::


Black: foolish Girl. by taking out your frustrations on me. you've sealed the fate of your friends. your energy is FEEDING the dome, wench...


::Erika feels a tap on her shoulder as a NEW body is standing behind her::

and YOU do not have the power to destroy me...Limbo's magick has given me a new lease on life. the shroud is just ONE of my powers now! Working for Spellbinder is the only obvious choice...since SHE is going to win ...and the prize of her victory will be YOUR HEADS while the demons of limbo feed on your bodies and souls

::grabbing her by the shoulders and yanking her up to his face::

since your so bent on being a bad ass...why dont we make your heart and soul BLACK as night to match?

::Black begins to FLOOD erika with the shrould...blasting it into her mouth, eyes, and nose..as he grips her like a vise...squeezing her so hard as he pushes AIR out of her and replaces it with the black, poisoning energy of the shroud. Not only will she lose her soul...she will lose her life as well. the energy pours into her.::
 
** Close to the edge, Blaze was struggling the temptation of falling into a deep slumber and forever lost in the darkness. The sound of Guardian's icy voice sprang Blaze into action, her words coming in crystal clear to the mutant, who was able to hear the Seer's words just fine luckily from her super sensitive hearing. **

"GOT it!!"

** Easing her sore body to the side, Blaze understood her task. Pushing the palm of her hand down onto the floor, she quickly pushed herself up with a battle like cry. Swallowing away her anger and rage, replacing it with love. Her metallic eyes moved around the black dome imprisoning her. Shutting her eyes, Blaze drastically rose her body temperature in a matter of seconds. Flames erupted off her petite and bruised body with her irises morphing into the glowing yellow tint. Circling her hands out in front of her, she breathed more heavier, calling upon one of her hottest powers. Licking her dry lips, she rose her hands above her head. Several bright shades of heat sources could be seen whirling around Foxfire's hands until an intense light flickered over and around her. The ball grew in size and shape moving at high velocity speeds while her yellow orbs concentrated. Blaze's face was stern and determined. She ignored Black for the time being. **

** Beads of sweat poured off her body but she kept on going. More and more fire power was added to Foxfire's creation. The ball was about the size of Black's head until Foxfire threw her hands forward quickly hurling the ball of fire forward. It sped through the air currents like a heat seeking missile until it handed near the ground level by the rear of the black dome. A large explosion ROCKED Illustra now and it wasn't Morgan but Foxfire! Large currents of fire ignited around the edges of the dome moving around the whole shape of the dome. It was a magnificent sight. But Foxfire didn't rest, instead she allowed her limbs to become nothing but solid hot lava. Stretching them forward she pounded the dome with molten lava energy furiously. Large "fire bombs" bombarded the dome, washing over the ring of fire with hot lava. Together the two mixed intertwining into one. Blaze stumbled back pressing the palms of her hands down onto her knee caps to rest. **

** She carefully watched her firestorm work its course, hoping it would free them all if not then at least Foxfire. **
 
< One moment Black was there and the next he was nowhere to be found. It angered her that he had yet again slipped through her fingers just as it seemed she had him pinned. Before long she felt a tap on her shoulder as she turned around to see the Alpha Demon stand before her once again. He grabbed her up as the two now were face to face with Erika's body DANGLING in mid air as he continued his ever tiring and nauseating monoglue. She coughed and turned away, refusing to show any sign of fear. >

"Ah.. Black.. my man.. try a CERTS once in a while! And I am by NO means bent on being a bad ass, but I will be DAMNED if you think that YOU are going to be the one to kill me!"

< Suddenly Erika began to feel her body FILLED with the Shroud Energy as it completely enveloped her mind body and soul. She felt so much pain and suffering as if she was being suffocated by an extention of Black. She began to cough and snort as her body waivered in the air seemingly unmoved with Blacks hands around her shoulders. It was almost no use. She felt herself nodding off and her spirit being pulled from her body. She was being poisoned. Erika needed help and she needed someone to be able to bring her back from the brink. She tried to slow down enough to concentrate. If she didn't calm down she would only die faster. Before long the Astral Form of Erika fluttered in front of Alison and Ororo for a brief second, long enough only to mutter a few words. >

"ALISON! HELP ME! HE'S TRYING TO TAKE MY SOUL!"

< The Form dissappeared almost as sudden as it had came and now she was back in the torturous pain of Black's attack continuing to cough and choke even more as she kicked the Demon with all her might which did knock him back but he didn't loosen his grip on her. That was dead tight. She wondered if these would be her last moments but held strong. If she was going down, it wasn't without a fight. She continued to flail her body all around trying to do something, ANYTHING to escape the demon's grasp. >
 
The Challenge

** Breathing more normally, Foxfire spun her head to the side seeing Erika in danger. Her eyes flamed over to their blazing yellow form. She had to help Erika and fast but how? Sure, she threw out some assaults at the dark dome but was it enough? She watched in horror while Black brutalized her just like the way he did to HER! Blaze's eyes flickered over to her red tint. Clenching her fist, she yelled out over to him. **

"SHIT for brains, come play with me! In fact I challenge YOU Black! You and I....Erika isn't who you really want....its me....who is closest to Morgan?! That's right, me! I know your dying for a rematch....bring it on.."

** She beckoned him forth, calling him out. She was putting herself in danger but it was the only thing the mutant could think of. Blaze admired Erika for her courage and her strength, the woman went through hell for them, it was about time Blaze stepped up now! Cracking her knuckles loudly, she waited for him. **

"Leave Erika....take me stud."

** Her eyes heavily locked onto Black's enormous muscular form. She awaited close by, raising a brow. **

"Don't be a pussy Blackey, come and get me!"

** Kissing the palm of her hand, she blew a fire blast right at him. It traveled much more faster but either the black dome would protect him, if it was still up or he would have to hustle to avoid its deadly effects. **
 
::Guardian was taken aback by the sudden "appearence" of Erika..but immediately she felt the gloom and dread that accompanied the attack of Black on Erika::

We cannot allow him to win. I cannot allow him to claim Erika's soul...She's worked...so long and hard....and come too far to allow herself to be taken over by this creature!

::Blinking to the other side of Black and Erika...just as Foxfire was attempting to bait him, Guardian's face had a stern, cold expression as she glared at Black with her cobalt blue eyes::

I think you've feasted on her soul LONG ENOUGH you vile pig.

:: thrusting her hands out [think Piper Halliwell], Guardian DETONATES the air and space between Black and Erika...the powerful explosion BLASTS Erika from Black's grip...and sends Erika flying into Prophet's arms while the concussive force sending Black sprawling across the floor toward Foxfire. it was a brutal move BUT Guardian HAD to act quickly to save Erika::

We are WASTING TIME fighting HIM. He know's we cant destroy him utterly in this battle. its this DOME its a TRAP...cutting us off from Karen and Ororo who are LOSING to Spellbinder outside the dome!

Prophet...keep Erika back...she cannot be apart of this any longer!


With the Powers of night and space
Send forthe the energy with which to deliver
us from this time and place.



:: Power climaxes as blast rays spin around Guardian's pulled back and posed hands...as Guardian stands fast...and thunder blasts followed by the toll of a bell, Guadian unleashes a broad beamed energy blast...so bright it is blue/white in hue...and it illuminates EVERYTHING its immediate path as it charges madly the area of the dome nearest Morgan's area of consecration. the massive energy bolt begins to hammer at the wall of the dome...radiating it...and causing shards and sparks to fly every which way as the friction between the shroud and the energy clash. the dome grows further stressed...shaking from within from this as well as Foxfire's attack. its getting stressed....reaching its FILL of energy absorbtion capacity.....all that is needed now..is that FINAL PUSH to send it over the edge and cause the MUCH NEEDED SHATTERING::
 
:: All hell was breaking loose in Morgan's apartment. Alexis couldn't see for the life of her because of the black shroud created by Black, but she could hear everything perfectly. The battles, the screams, the attacks. But every time, Black would pull through. Shock really couldn't do much of anything because everything was happening so fast. Before she could even get her barrings straight, another attack was launched against Black. Squinting her eyes, Alexis could make out a shadowy figure in the distance, it seemed to have the shape of a tall woman--most likely Guardian. And just as she was about to call out to the witch, Guardian launched a massive amount of energy sending a blinding light that illuminated everything. Finally Alexis could see more then a foot in front of her. Running toward Guardian, she kept her eyes on the area in which Alison was attacking. The dome's wall seemed to grow weaker and weaker by the minute, but Guardian needed an extra boost otherwise her efforts would be wasted. Alexis slowed finally reaching Alison. Stopping, she immediately lifted her hands forward in exactly the same fashion that Alison was doing. An orb of white energy surrounded Alexis' hands until finally bolts of highly carded energy came flying from Alexis' hands straight into Guardian's attack. The bolts crashed violently, each following bolt containing more and more energy. The wall began to pulsate....Alexis continued her efforts to help Guardian, hoping that the extra energy, along with her assault against the dome's wall, would be of assistance. ::
 
** Blaze's emerald green eyes went wide seeing Black tumble roughly towards her. Spinning at the waist, she cartwheeled out of the way. The penthouse shook at the expanse of the fallen creature. While Guardian and Shockwave worked magnificently together, it was Blaze's turn to unleash some pent up aggression. Inhaling a sharp breath she moved swiftly at the hip striking the back of her heel directly and in close contact with Black's skull above his right eye. Her boot connecting with a brutal thud, almost like the sound of someone falling from the Eiffel tower down to the ground. Walking around him when she cracked her neck to the side. Careful to beware of his trickery and cunning style. **

"I think Freddy said it best....WELCOME to my world BITCH!"

** Throwing her sais through the air, its sharp blade soured through the space between them. Striking down on his large left foot to hopefully pin him. The blade was heavily stuck through the hardwood floor. Blaze skillfully backflipped to supply more space around them. Guardian gave her the perfect timing to attack this unholy beast. Clapping her hands loudly, a massive circle of fire traveled around Black around his massive physique, keeping within her circle. Maneuvering her hands in the air, her high temperature heat expanded into a fire grid almost like the same dome he had trapped them inside of. Blaze extended the temperature making it sizzling hot, more humid than the Brazilian Jungle. Foxfire herself was igniting herself on fire. She was going to burn this monster to a crisp! The walls of the dome inclosed more on Black and the metallic blade which pinned Black became intensely hot, the agony and pain could possibly be enormous. If Black caught fire, he wouldn't just suffer third degree burns but the SUN'S rays! **

** Foxfire's humanoid body lost its molecules turning into her element, fire! Her currents rippled and churned and the only humane feature about her was the pair of cold yellow eyes glowing through the fire. No longer was Blaze human looking but she had turned into complete fire, like a ray of light. Flickering brightly, Blaze rushed down to attack the beast. Brilliantly colored shades of red, orange, and yellow mixed together through her flaming form. Foxfire had called upon her most powerful asset, her ray of light. The Mutant went under metamorphous using her fire. She had never used such extreme power before, this was a struggle for Blaze. Lashing down at him, she moved like furious lightning. It felt like the sun's devastating rays whipping at Black. The attack was brutal yet quick, if it didn't kill Black, it would hopefully seriously burn him. But with Black anything was possible. **
 
:: Erika flew into Cameron's arms as both were knocked back by the sheer force of Guardian's fast attack. As Erika pushed off to the side he could tell that she wanted to get right back into the fight to help her sister and to defeat Black. Prophet guessed that each of the members of the King family were stubborn in their own way. He could tell how angry she was that she had to ask for help in defeating this Alpha Demon and Cameron smirked at her and laughed ::

"Man, girl! You put up one hell of a fight, but I would rather NOT lose the sister I just found out about so easy there, Killer!"

:: He was trying to hold her back, but she had temporarily shared Black's strength and it was no use as she quickly pulled away from him but gained her composure once more. The flash of the lights were nearly blinding which was a dramatic and welcomed change from the black they had been sentenced to before. Finally figures were able to be seen as Cameron ran up to Alexis and Heather with Erika in tow ::

"Jesus Christ.. I never thought I would say this.. but it's nice to see EVERYONE for a change! Now let's get out of here!"

:: He watched at the exchange of energy between Guardian and Shockwave and Foxfire's lethal attacks against Foxfire. This was a rather amazing display of power and Cameron felt a little inadequate compared to these powerful women. Each of them when faced were so OFFENSIVE and Prophet stood being on the Defense. Prophet watched in awe as he waited for the shield to crash around them ::
 
::the dome began to pulsate with flickers of white light...it seemed to be swelling and shaking. as shockwave joined Guardian in her efforts, Guardian swung her hands upward toward the top center of the dome hitting it where it would hurt the most::

Its ..WORKING...keep at it!


::Shockwave's own considerable power helped to irradiate the dome's walls while foxfire's assault and even the by product of her attack on black strained the circumference....the dome was being taxed beyond anticipated levels...and began to SHAKE...as cracks began to appear all around ....with the LOUND sound of shattering glass, the dome exploded...sending a powerful shockwave forward in all directions ...and now the group were back in Morgan's penthouse..their vision adjusting to normal once more and the sweet smell of fresh air greeted their bodies::


::Guardian put her hand to her forehead as she exhaled...and closed her eyes for a moment...the SHARDS of the dome were still flying through the air, allowing Prophet to take a shot at Black if he seized the moment with his telekinetic power. Even though this problem had been solved, there was still the matter of Karen and Ororo as well as BLACK who was in the room. but NOW....the tide had been turned in favor of the group::
 
last strike

::Black was knocked off balance by Guardian's forcefull attack and sent into the inferno of Blaze's assault. He didnt roar in pain from her attacks..but it was CLEAR that his body was being racked by the assault....as he curled up on his feet....the onslaught of solar heat and blasts was staggering him and immobilizing him..but it wouldnt be enough to DESTROY him. as he slowly rose to his feet.....he loomed over Blaze, dwarfing her. She attacked him again and his body seemed to vibrate and phase as the energy of the lava and the flame bombarded him. soon..he DID began to roar with agitation and MORE pain as Guardian and Shockwave destroyed the Dark energy DOME and BROKE his hold on the team....DESTROYING that dome took MORE out of him because he had invested much power into creating it..and NOW he was at a loss....he was bowled over...as rays of yellow energy from Foxfire's power began to shoot out of his eyes and mouth....::

:: he stood up once more...LAUNCHING himself at Foxfire like a wounded animal's last stand....coming so fast and so hard that she wouldnt have time to react..his body, which was radiating from her attack nearly collided with HER's!::
 
:: Seeing the walls begin to crack, Alexis knew that the massive overload of energy was working. Finally the wall exploded into shards of energy that scattered throughout the room. The black smog dissapeared and Alexis could finally see everything more clearly. Looking towards Black, she decided to take things into her own hands. Waving her arm forcefully (Think Prue), the broken shards of energy instantly went flying towards Black, forming a dome of energy around HIM. Ha, irony's a bitch. Holding her hand forward towards the dome, Alexis intensified the energy with her own powers, hoping to keep him in place long enough for others to attack him. ::

"Attack him! Before I the dome weakens!!"

:: Alexis screamed, hoping someone would take this chance to set forth a massive attack that could weaken him enough to kill him. ::
 
::as Shockwave directed the broken shards of dark energy, (still irradiated by her own power signature) at Black, Guardian looked up noting the irony of Shockwave binding Black in the remnants of his own dome::

turn about is fair play, but let's make sure he gets the point!

:: knowing that pain and malice FUEL Black, Guardian quickly thrusts her hands out [think piper] and TRUE FREEZES him...encasing him in a block of sub zero , blue shimmering ICE...all time and movement now stopped around him...WITHIN him. he is completely immobilized in place and rendered inert::


he is checked in suspended animation for now...but I doubt it will hold him for long. But Karen and Ororo........they need our help!!

:: just then, she looked over and saw Karen and Ororo...both women falling to their knees and quickly losing the last of the strength they had. the attackin on Illustra itself had taken its toll...as the building seemed to be listing to one side...and cracks and massive structural damage were all around through the floors.......but even as Karen and Ororo seemed to be overwhelmed....something began to HAPPEN outside the windows of the apartment::
 
::Ororo began to buckle under the tremendous physical and mental strain of the sustained effort..she felt herself slipping in and out of conscious....any earth bound sorceress with half her age and experience would have been defeated hours ago...but Ororo and Karen were older, wiser more powerful. if ANYONE could have provided such a strong defense against Spellbinder, it was them...but even THEY had their limits...and they were now painfully there::


Ororo: ....i can do no more!!!......nothing ...left!!

::she began to fall to her knees....her power signature fading....as she slumped over and fell to the ground......she looked so weary and without the the reserves of her garden or the magick therein to draw on...she was now exhausted::
